Film production in New York City began in the nineteen forties with "The Naked City". Films were mostly made in Hollywood and London at the time, and occasionally went on location to places like Las Vegas and Paris, though primarily to take advantage of Las Vegas hotel deals or stay at a nice Paris hotel. A decade later and film-makers were soon flocking to New York City. In 1954, another New York production "On the Waterfront" won eight Oscars, including Best Picture, at the Academy Awards. In 1955, “Marty” also won Best Picture and three other Oscars. Since those days there have been hundreds of films and television shows filmed in the streets of Manhattan, but not
all of them have been true to their word with clever special effects, library footage and even other cities playing the part of New York have been used to keep film budgets low.

OntheSetofNewYork.com reveals the Apartment Buildings, Office Blocks and Street locations for some of the most famous films shot in New York City as well as the not so famous.
